Surat Dog Owners Face Licensing Issues Due to Neighbor Objections

Surat Dog Owners Face Licensing Issues Due to Neighbor Objections

In Surat, India, people with dogs need a license from the city.

To get one, they need permission.

Those in apartments need approval from their building leaders.

Others need signatures from ten neighbors.

Some people have been denied licenses because their neighbors complained.

Dog owners are now asking the city to change the rules, as it's hard to get everyone's agreement.

The rules also include providing vaccination records and declaring adherence to all pet rules.
